Mr. Wm.

I It was pumted out that C. P- R. boats now come to McNichol, at the lowere end of the Georgian Bay, and close to where the proposed canal system would end. It was contended that grain could be loaded on small- er barges and carried across to Lake Ontario, thence down the St. Law, rence to Montreal.

ANOTHER RURAL In the evening a joint meeting of:1 the Farmer's Institute and Women’s! Institute was held in Dickson’s 11311.! Mr. Jas. Dickson acted as chairman’ and gave a brief address. This was! followed by an address by Mr. J l (lardhouse, of Highfield, who referred} to the dignity of the farmer’s call-l ing, and urged them in this age of electricity, aeroplanes, etc., to keep up with the march of progress. The welfare of the nation rests upon the shoulders of the farmers. They should giVe their farms a square deal, and never apologize before their boys and girls for being a farmer. The regular meeting of the W0â€" men’s Institute was held in Dickson’s hall on Friday afternoon, Nov. 29th, The meeting was opened in the us- ual manner, Mrs. Lamb, president, in the chair. After the transaction of the usual business of the branch, Miss G. Gilholm of Bright gave an excellent address or talk on sub- ject of vital interest to women. The subject of the growth of microbes, bacteria, and mould and their influx ence on food was made most inter-‘ esting. Then the subject of farming for women was touched on, or rath- er the fact that women should know all they can about farming. The ex- exemple of the late Queen Victoria was quoted. she having taken a great and lasting interest in- all the branch;- es of farming during her life. Somei useful hints on canning 'and preserv- ing were given, the latest method of preserving tomatoes, plums, grapes, etc, being to dip them in heade parafin, which forms a waxen seal over the fruit. Afterwards a talk on: the subject of “Opportunity" was; giveo, particularly the opportunity! as Canadian women to mould the“ destiny of this great and growing Canada of ours. The work women ,can do in educating their children to ; be strong mentally and morally as; well as physically. The suppression of i the distribution of objectionalle li-i terature is one of the duties which was referred to. It is claimed that there are between fifty and sixty publications debarred from passing through the mails by the govern- ment. This law is being broken and these publications under the most in- nocent sounding names are sent to the youth of our land. There is not. a town, a village or even a little; cross roads where this vile stufi does not circulate. This is a. state of af- fairs before which we feel inclined to stand back, but when we think this. literature is being addressed to our; own young people either directly or! indirectly, we must not shirk our reâ€" sponsibilities. The time has come whenthe women of Canada must con- cern themselves with the great things of life, and see that their land is not destroyed by the evils which threaten on every side. During the! meeting a duet was given by Mrs.’ Dr. Gould and Miss V. -.chendry.l The meeting closed by singing the; National Anthem.
